Got it, I wasn’t whining I just stated it once. I would assume since he has all these white hat internet cyber experts, he would have had an unhackable system. Guess I was wrong for assuming that.

The nature of a denial of service attack is hard to mitigate. It’s not necessarily a “hack” as in a vulnerability or exploit. It typically involves some form of flooding connections with requests to the point where to server is out of processing power, disk read/writes, and/or bandwidth. It’s hard to filter the spam requests because requests solicit the server the same as user requests and requires accepting and reading the request to determine if it’s spam or not. It’s more of a “who has more resources” than “who has better security” problem.

Ain’t no such thing as “unhackable”. Anything humans invent, other humans can find a way to break.
